Trimming and The Moon ☽ ☾

[Karmi]

I thought it would be nice to post links, info, and personal experience/stories for those who follow, or are interested in, moon phases when trimming/cutting, conditioning/styling, etc. I've done a "Moon Phase" search on the forums and found some information, sporadic at best, and I am wondering if anyone has additional information they would like to share as to their regime, according to the moon/planets/astrology sings...

I hear some use the morroccon method while others use the farmer's almanac, some go by the first quarter of the moon before it reaches full, while others choose to use the astrology signs. Each method appears quite a bit different from one to the next. I would like to hear people's experiences regarding any of these. I personally think I will be using the first quarter method.

I bring this up because I have just bought my first pair of shears (Tweezerman 2000, 5.5" shears - recommended by this site) and will take it upon myself to begin cutting/trimming my own hair. I've never done it myself before but I am excited and feeling a bit liberated (not needing to rely on another to trim/cut my hair). I have read trimming information and stories provided on this site by a great many of members, along with some tutorials also from members of this site.

I appreciate anyone willing to share in this thread any information they have.

I always liked the idea of cutting my hair with the moon cycles (hence my user name!

Has any one tried using the Morrocco method THICKEN dates to thicken up your hair?
I think that I am going to try trimming my hair monthly by the THICKEN dates & see if it will help to thicken up my hair. I have about all the length that I need but I sure could use thicker hair. I guess that it can't hurt to try it.

I don't know about that Moroccan site. I talked with a friend a bit who is a professional astrologer and she recommended totally different ones , so does the farmer's almanac and this pretty informative article...

The method I use is similar to this. I go with cuts during the "growth" signs (water and earth I think) and stick generally between the quarter moon and the full moon, and pick the best sign in there!

I'm going to start doing this. This seems awesome, and I wonder if it works. I'm already spiritual in ways that involve doing things purposefully during the cycles of the moon, I just never thought to connect it in any way to my hair. I'll report back in the coming months on how it goes.

I have just started trimming by the New Moon phase this month, so don't know yet if there is any difference.
This web site has a calendar of when the Moons are & what signs they are in:

I usually cut my hair at the new or full moon.
